Best Dishes at Limin
Doubles
SnacksA street food staple from Trinidad—two soft fried bread rounds (the 'doubles') filled with curried chickpeas and drizzled with tamarind and pepper sauce. It's warm, spiced, slightly sweet and slightly sour, all at once. Cheap, filling and absolutely delicious. The Trinidadian way to eat it is with your hands.
Jerk Chicken
MainsChicken marinated and grilled with the classic Caribbean jerk spice blend—allspice, scotch bonnet or habanero, thyme, and other warm spices. The exterior is charred and smoky, the inside is tender and deeply flavored. Served with rice and peas or fried plantains. This is the dish that made Limin's name.
Curry Goat
MainsGoat meat braised slowly in a Caribbean curry sauce built on turmeric, cumin, and warm spices. The goat becomes fall-apart tender from the long cooking, and the sauce coats it beautifully. The curry is aromatic and complex without being harsh. Served with rice or roti bread for scooping.
Roti
BreadSoft, warm roti bread—a legacy of Indian indentured labor in Trinidad—served alongside curries for scooping. The roti is essential to the experience. It's simple but requires skill to make correctly. At Limin, it's made fresh and it shows.
Spinach and Sweetcorn Fritters
StartersCrispy fried fritters combining fresh spinach and sweetcorn, seasoned with herbs and spices. Served with a tangy dipping sauce. They're vegetarian, affordable and deeply flavorful. Perfect as a starter or side.

The outdoor terrace overlooks the Thames and Southbank. On a sunny day, there's nowhere better to eat. Book a table outside if possible.
The cocktail list is excellent—rum-forward Caribbean cocktails that pair beautifully with the food. Try the rum punch or a caipirinha variation.
Limin is excellent value for the quality and the location. Mains are £16-17, sides are cheap. You can eat well for under £30.
The atmosphere is warm and energetic. Sometimes there's live music on weekends. It feels like a celebration.
